Does it make sense to use typescript on node.js backend?

Question

JavaScript

Could you share your experience with typescript (C#0.0.1) ? Have you received any benefits? Does it make sense to use on node.js. For me, typing, generics, advanced OOP, namespaces are cool, but not often used, except in very large projects. And in small solid app.use.

Answer 1

typing, generics, advanced OOP is not cool, but the need for error control, fast navigation, and decomposition of complex entities, and in general, more error-proof development of complex systems and more understandable and easier code support. Rather, yes, for simple projects it may be overkill (additional code), for complex and large ones, on the contrary, everything pays off. It's like an excavator and a shovel, a shovel for small pits, an excavator for large pits.
